12 million euros to compensate small Douro producers

Diário de Viseu5 September 2026 at 11:47

Prime Minister Luís Montenegro announced today a maximum support of 12 million euros for the Douro region. The objective of this funding is to compensate small Douro wine producers who face economic difficulties.

According to Montenegro, small producers lack the capacity to sell their products, which justifies the need for this financial support. The measure aims to help them cope with the crisis affecting the sector in the Duriense region.

The Prime Minister argued that this compensation is necessary to preserve the activity of small producers and guarantee the sustainability of wine production in the Douro region, one of the most traditional in Portugal.

Seguro: Rating credibility must be "at the service of a more productive economy"

The President of the Republic, António José Seguro, congratulated himself on the decision by rating agency Fitch to upgrade Portugal's rating from "A" to "A+" with stable outlook, classifying it as excellent news and an important external recognition of the country's economic performance. However, Seguro warned that the credibility gained must be "put at the service of a more productive economy, better wages, strong public services, and a fairer and more cohesive society". The Ministry of Finance, led by Miranda Sarmento, celebrated the upgrade as "another great victory for Portugal", highlighting that this is already the fourth rating revision in the past two years, including those promoted by S&P.

Debt review? Portugal "can be rewarded by the markets"

The National Institute of Statistics (INE) will proceed in March with a revision of Portuguese GDP, which may mechanically reduce the public debt ratio as a percentage of GDP. Economists such as João Borges Assunção and Óscar Afonso diverge on the real impact of this revision: while the first believes it can be "rewarded by markets" through reductions in spreads relative to Germany, the second warns that the debt in euros does not disappear and that the statistical improvement should not be confused with effective fiscal consolidation. Both agree, however, that the State Budget for 2027 should be built without depending on these still unknown statistical changes.
